I just got a new laptop that has Windows 11 as its OS. It has Bluetooth settings, but when I check it, I don't see any way to pair my hearing aids to it.
They sync to my iPhone and iPad.
Is there a way to add them so I can use them when I'm using the computer so I don't disturb others in the room?

"Selected" mac computers because m chips mac computers are becoming closer to be just bigger versions of iphones and ipads. So it is just a continuation of "made for iphones" hearing aids working at first with iphones only, then ipads and then quasi-ipads with m chips inside.
But notice that the word "Bluetooth" is NOT on the web page at all.
Therefore it is not "bluetooth", but the proprietary apple protocol.
Hi, go back to page 3 of this chain & read my March 13 entry, still waiting on the update to W11 from MS.
The new Apple Macs with the M2 and M3 (and some with the M1) chips do work with hearing aids

Hi, I just got a new phone this past week (s24 ultra) had a couple of problems getting the new phone to hookup correctly to bluetooth but that's fixed, while I was at my Hear USA dealer I talked to her about the Signia Bridging device pictured above. I was told the following:
As I clearly explained on page 1 that it is an US law (FCC regulation) that forced hearing aids companies to make hearing aids compatible with mobile phones. Otherwise it is a proprietary wireless protocol so that hearing aids companies can sell you a "bridge" device for an extra $200 in order to connect to a computer or a tv.
thank you
